    Hi guys,

    I hope this wasn't asked before: is the login process using a fixed firewall port or is it like an http request?
    I am not that expert but I am often using my university wi-fi and can't do nothing but surfing the net because all other ports are closed.

    So I'd like to have more info on the login process itself and how my PC can tell ISI every day that I'm a wannabe racer :D

    Thanks in advance

    If you are implying login into your rF2 account. Then you should have no problems if your firewall allows normal HTTP and HTTPS traffic over those services standard ports. Ie port 80 and 443. The same is true of matchmaking services.

    that said a given simulation server can be any port the server admin chooses.
